I am a huge fan of fan projects that are focused on single player. As they usually produce the most interesting results. I've played a ton of them and I always try and look for the positives. I'm not against paying for a mod, but there's a level of quality to be expected with a price tag attached. Prospekt does not meet these expectations. In a lot of ways it feels like someone's first mod. The attention to detail is too low, there are no major changes to the game design. The game has nothing that pulls you into it, let alone justifies its $10 MSRP price tag.

The level design is amateurish at best. At worst you're fighting the poor lighting that the game gives you. It's either blindingly bright or puzzle elements that are drenched in darkness. Whilst there can definitely be dark moments, the fact that the game is so dark makes me think the developer doesn't know how to properly light Source engine levels. The exceeding brightness of some lights also lends credibility to this theory. The level design itself is fairly linear. None of it is notable except being a lot of big rooms... typically full of nothing. Enemy engagements aren't great, either. The transition between areas are... a ton of vents. In fact if you love vents and disembodied voices communicating to you, then this game comes highly recommended.

The game graphically looks fine other than the lighting issues, but that's mostly because it's using the stock Half-Life 2 textures with a filter that greatly increases the color saturation, which looks odd. The contrast appears to be tweaked a bit as well but it's hard for me to tell. They changed the HUD's font to some really ugly large font. I'm not a fan but it's a pretty minor change anyways.

At this point I'm starting to ramble, but honestly this game didn't impress me whatsoever. I read the forums and the developer seemed dedicated to improving it and I commend that, but I find it hard to justify money on this. Best of luck with your future endeavors. May luck bless you... but it has abandoned you here IMO.
